SquirrelMail requries the session.save_handler to be set to files and
not user. user seems to allow the author of the PHP applications to
create their own session handler, which we have not yet done.
According to the PHP documentation, you can probably change that
variable in an .htaccess file.

  <Directory /path/to/your/squirrelmail>
     php_flag session.save_handler files
  </Directory>

I believe that is the correct syntax, however you might want to
validate it.
